Re: horse ground training

Take your left hand and hold the lead rope as if it's the left rein. Pull the halter slowly toward yourself.

"Concentrate. Feel how much pressure it takes to bring that rope toward you. You should feel on your pinky how many ounces it takes. Throw it back out and do it again. This time close your eyes and really concentrate. If you get this lesson, horse training gets a whole lot easier. Really focus on what it feels like. How many ounces is it taking to bring that halter back to you? Think of a specific number. How many pounds? How many ounces? One or two? 5 pounds or 5 ounces?

"How would you like your horse to be that soft? A pound or two doesn't seem so bad, does it? Actually, it's terrible.

Experienced horse handlers and novices alike will appreciate the proven loading techniques John Lyons shares. John clearly demonstrates and explains how to teach a horse to load in a trailer calmly, without risking injury to either the horse or the handler.

John Lyons further demonstrates his techniques for halter breaking a foal and an unhandled five year old horse. He shows you how to solve behavior problems like rearing up and pulling back while standing tied. Through perceptiveness and patience, John demonstrates how to gain a horse’s confidence and eliminate fear.

John has gained national and international recognition for his skills as educator and trainer. Both English and Western riders from all over the world travel to attend the John Lyons training symposiums to learn and observe his innovative techniques.

"Round Pen Reasoning", John Lyons first equestrian training video, has become the most sought after horseman’s video. "Leading and Loading Safely" is a natural sequel to his first video and is a must for horse enthusiasts who want to train their horse to have the "want to" attitude.
